I hated every minute of playing this game but for whatever reason I still remember it fondly. I loved everything but the soul crushing linearity and repetitiveness. Especially Sazh, I love Sazh.

This could've been fine, if they'd started you off with four or five bars. And I'm not seeing why Sazh is a racist stereotype. I don't see black guys with giant afros that often but... it's just hair. What else am I missing?

Considering it's a Japanese game and Sazh is presented as a comedic relief to Lightning at the start it can be pretty groan-worthy until you keep playing and realise he's the best character in the entire series.

I really do like the design of the fal'cie. Just big ol' evil incomprehensible robot things that sit there and do bad things.

This thread got me in the FF13 mood so I finally gave in and bought Lightning Returns and man, I think 13-4 is just going to end up being Jazzpunk it's getting so incomprehensible.

e: Man Fedule, you complain a lot whenever the game follows a "Show don't tell" philosophy. What I'm saying is you're the Tim Buckley of LPing.

He's not joking you know. Every FF since XIII's release had a reference to Lightning in some way. The FFXIV MMO has Lightning costumes, for instance.

She actually appeared in game for a while there.

Tries to be badass is what seems to sum up Lightning best here. She just comes out as an rear end in a top hat at best and a too-cool-for-you Mary Sue at worst.
That being said, according to the thread the writing will somehow get worse in the sequels so there's something to look forward to I guess?

They don't get worse exactly, just entirely more incomprehensible.
